Screensaver Overlay is a free add on service that makes it possible for you to interact with a web page on your screen. As long as you have a mouse connected or touch screen abilities, users will be able to click on screen to activate the screensaver and bring up the web page you have assigned. They'll then be able to interact with that page.
